Burton Baton

Historical Beer - Burton Ale

An oak-aged, gentle giant. Two "threads," or batches, of beer — an English-style old ale and an imperial IPA — are brewed and, after separate fermentation in stainless tanks, are transferred and blended together in large oak tanks.

A classic, deceptively drinkable with perfect not-cloying vanilla notes, a lot of malt, but still enough hops to balance it all out. Perfect for special occasions like Christmas Eve or, in this case, Tuesday.

Boozy and oaky but very smooth. Very smooth in an English Pale Ale for the ABV.

I forgot how much I loved this beer. Such a great balance of malt, hops, and oak. It’s a treat to have it again but wish I could get this all the time.

This beer is better than 90 minute and I like 90 minute. Such a good malt backbone and I'm not even a fan of malt backbones.

Live @ Dogfish Head - Burton Baton is one of the best beers in the world. Period. Stop. End of story. Imperial IPA mixed with Olde English Ale. Aged in bourbon barrels. Stop. Just stop. Beer lives here.
